Version Reviewed: 1.1
Developer: Nimblebit (Ian Marsh)
Price as of Review: $0.99
Current iTunes Rating: 3.5/5

A lot of iPhone users will probably recognize Sky Burger from somewhere…like Scoops [iTunes Link] – [Review]!  In fact Sky Burger is a knock off of the popular, immensely addictive game (which we gave a great review) Scoops.  It’s even from the same iPhone phenom Ian Marsh.  Anyways, in Sky Burger you must stack a burger to the skies (or just to the top of the bun) by tilting your iPhone (see our post on accelerometers work).  Along the way you will earn tips and achievements. Unlike Scoops, Sky Burger is quite advanced this way, including online leaderboards and tons of statistics.

Luckily, Sky Burger maintains the same the highly addictive gameplay that any Nimblebit game I’ve played has.  The user interface at first glance looks pretty ugly and dull but once you start playing the game you’re warmly welcomed to a nicely rendered cartoon graphics set.  The different aspects of Sky Burger keeps it interesting for a while but unless you get severly addicted to this game you won’t find yourself coming back much.

All in all, Sky Burger is a cool app but nothing new to the iPhone world.  Luckily it is well developed and hosts a wide array of features. If you’re a fan of scoops, definitely check this out.  Just remember, in a digital world, where you can earn $7/minute flipping burgers, any application can be good.  Anyways, I just got promoted to Burgurista and am off to bed with Sky Burger.

Final Ratings:

Gameplay: 7.9/10 – Although fully loaded with features, the basic gameplay gets stale

Enjoyment: 7.5/10 – There’s a bit of a drag to it

Graphics: 8/10 – Good but what’s with the main menu and a few other parts?

Sound: 7/10 – Doesn’t interefere with iPod music but still has background music (though it’s pretty annoying)

Technology: 9/10 – Tilt and touch controls, only crashed once, fairly stable.

Replay Value: 8.5/10 – Famous for being highly addictive!

Overall Rating: 8/10

Further Improvements: (Note to the developer!)

• Multiple background music options
• Small update to graphics

Scoops: $1.99 of iced cream tilting fun

Scoops achieves what almost every game should have, simple but immensely fun gameplay.  Not is it just good fun, this game will have you flicking through your home screen’s right back to it.  In Scoops you tilt your iPhone to move around an ice cream stack and cone.  You must collect the ice cream scoops and avoid the vegetables.

Unfortunately, there is no use of the touch screen to tilt the cone.  To keep it entertaining, and challenging, the speed of the dropping ice cream and vegetables increases the more you last without stacking a vegetable.  Not just speed increases though, but the points you pick up.  You can even stack up scoops of the same colour for extra points.

The interface is fantastic, adding high scores and selecting from the menu is a breeze.  There is a local and global high scores table.

Here at iPhone App Reviewer we always end our reviews with further improvements that could be made to the app, so here goes nothing.

Further Improvements (note to the developer!):

• All time global high scores, not just daily
• Bonus scoops besides the ‘magic’ scoop that restores a life
• Touch screen control!
• Some cartoon background graphics are a little edgy
